London’s growth and our key challenges

• Employment growth: 680,000 more

jobs in the next 20 years.

• 44 per cent of total jobs created in

central.

• 42,000 homes PA needed to sustain

population growth

• Without interventions London faces

rise in road congestion

• Conventional tools to tackle road

based congestion becoming more

limited

• New policy tools needed to tackle

these issues.

9

London’s freight context

• Van traffic in London has been growing year on year since 1990’s and is predicted to grow by another 20% to 2030

• 50% of all freight trips in Central London occur 07:00 – 13:00.

• Less than 15% of freight trips occur overnight and 40% of peak AM traffic in Central London is construction related

Road89%

Water (Thames

inside London)

6%

Rail4%

Air 1%

Freight by mode in London

• London’s roads are getting safer and

cleaner

• Cycling is up 1,000% since 2003 –

limited markets for cycle freight.

Cyclists and vans only mode predicted

to grow on road network

10

11 Freight economics

• The annual turnover of the UK

logistics industry is £1 trillion

• The number of people working in the

UK logistics industry is 2.54 million. In

London this sector employs 210,000

people

• The average profit margin of the top

100 hauliers was 4% in 2016

• Average HGV fleet size is 4.3

vehicles per operator

• Half of London household

expenditure (£79 billion in 2013)

relies on road freight

12Freight industry: Fact sheet

Freight traffic is hard to

reach as there are very many

small scale operators

56% of all vans are

privately owned

The average size of HGV

operator fleet is 4.3

vehicles

The number of people

employed in the industry is

falling

There are 179,298

logistics companies

Data Findings: What’s currently on the Road Network

What does the future hold? More

vans.

• HGV growth is static; vans are

forecast to grow by around 22%.

• Vans are flexible, less regulated

and customer are more

demanding

On a typical

weekday, van entries

are over 5 times

those for HGVs

On a typical weekday, van entries are over 5

times those for HGVs; Saturdays are half

weekday and Sundays half again

30% Of peak

trips are

freight

Does peakiness present an

opportunity?

• Almost 30 per cent of all morning

peak (CCZ) movements are

freight, but only 17% across the

whole day15%

Of freight

trips are at

night

Overnight is cheaper – but

customers want mornings

• Almost half of freight trips occur in

the 07:00 – 13:00 period, but only

15% overnight.

x5More vans

than HGVs

There are x5 as many vans as

HGVs

• Vans have grown considerably

while HGVs have been static

2030?

Freight traffic movement

Boroughs

with most

freight

movements:

• Havering

• Ealing

• LBBD

Borough with

most DC’s is

17 The MTS and London Plan – our goals for freight

Key policy: Banning

zero star vehicles by

2020 and creating DVS

standard and;

To reach vision zero by

2041

Safer: located

“Vision Zero”

Target: 60% reduction

in KSI by 2022 on 2005

Cleaner: located

with “Zer “Zero

Emissions”

Target: By 2025 greater

charging for non ULEV

Key policy: ULEZ by

2019 in CL and 2020 for

all London

To reach zero emissions

by 2050

Fewer trips: located

“Efficient Delivery and

Servicing”

Target: 10% reduction in

freight trips in CCZ during

AM peak by 2026

Key policy: No single tool

• Restrict personal

deliveries

• Procurement

• Re-timing

• Water and rail

• Consolidation – in all

forms

• Charging

To reach 10% fewer trips by

2026

London Plan: Protecting the land which allows the

freight industry to survive and grow

18 pOpportunities for freight: Keeping London moving

Collaboration: Need to work with all

partners to ensure London works

Light goods on rail and water/ more

water and rail deliveries: Using pax

services to deliver time sensitive goods

into Central London

Behaviour change: Promotional

campaigns and procurement– banning

personal deliveries in congestion zones

TfL’s own estate: Can we use surplus TfL

land to grow/ stimulate innovative delivery

and servicing methods? Pilots 2018

Retime: Moving deliveries out of the peak

19

Take away points

• Influence the customer: 5p bag charge – 80% fall

• Move away from over reliance on road transport for all or some of

the overall journey

• There is no “silver bullet” , but If we do nothing.......................

UCL–Lancet Commission: Shaping Cities for Health

Healthy Cities Summary

• Cities are complex systems, health outcomes are emergent properties

• Urban advantage in health has to be actively promoted & maintained

• Inequalities in health outcomes should be recognised at urban scale

• A linear or cyclical planning approach insufficient for complexity

• Urban health planning needs to use experimentation

• Evaluation/self reflection plus dialogue between stakeholders
